Society, history and languages

AT OPEN DAY 2017

Our students are passionate about understanding and improving the lives of others, and our graduates are valued by employers for their transferable skills, including the ability to think critically. Macquarie is the only university in Australia to offer a full study of Egyptology, and our professionally accredited Bachelor of Planning is the Sydney region’s first such degree with a strong social and environmental focus. Our departments of International Studies and Linguistics are internationally renowned and we offer the widest range of European languages in New South Wales, along with comprehensive Asian language options. You’ll see the bigger picture with our highly respected courses across a wide range of areas.
